Sun Tzu

Revision as of 20:09, 17 April 2023 by imported>Sol Pacificus (I just realized that most of this information makes more sense on a page about The Art of War, not a biography about the author. @Darman, I feel a bit awkward about using Ibid. when the initial citation specifically refers to a different chapter. Also, there were 2 different Art of War books being used before (in addition to the Chinese one).)

Sun Wu (孫武; 544 BCE – 496 BCE),[1] commonly known as Sun Tzu (孫子, i.e. 'Master Sun'), was a Chinese military strategist who lived during the Spring and Autumn period. Traditionally believed to have served King Helü of Wu (r. 514 BCE–496 BCE), he is credited as the author of The Art of War (孫子兵法), one of the most influential treatises on the fundamental principles, stratagems, and logistics of war.[2]
